Revising the Theory of Cross Phenomena
Zi-Kui Liu
In the present paper, the theory of cross phenomena (TCP) proposed by the present author is revised by starting from the first law of thermodynamics instead of the combined law of…
Effect of Anisotropic Peierls Barrier on the Evolution of Discrete Dislocation Networks in Ni
John D. Shimanek, Darshan Bamney, Laurent Capolungo +2
Over low and intermediate strain rates, plasticity in face centered cubic (FCC) metals is governed by the glide of dislocations, which manifest as complex networks that evolve with…
Deconvoluting Thermomechanical Effects in X-ray Diffraction Data using Machine Learning
Rachel E. Lim, Shun-Li Shang, Chihpin Chuang +3
X-ray diffraction is ideal for probing sub-surface state during complex or rapid thermomechanical loading of crystalline materials. However, challenges arise as the size of diffrac…
On Gibbs Equilibrium and Hillert Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics
Zi-Kui Liu
During his time at Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska Hogskolan, KTH) in Sweden, the present author learned nonequilibrium thermodynamics from Mats Hillert. The key c…
Quantitative Predictive Theories through Integrating Quantum, Statistical, Equilibrium, and Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics
Zi-Kui Liu
Today's thermodynamics is largely based on the combined law for equilibrium systems and statistical mechanics derived by Gibbs in 1873 and 1901, respectively, while irreversible th…
